[ForSale-Swap] FS: Brand New-In-the-Box (NIB) G5RV Antenna

[Ronald W. Evans]

I bought this new, fully-assembled G5RV for 10 thru 80 meters but never 
had it out of the box due to health and other personal problems.  It is 
constructed like a tank!  Solid...with quality wire, rugged spreaders, 
and Budwig end insulators.  (This G5RV was constructed by an Electronic 
Technician Chief in the US Navy.  He has had more than 15 years of 
experience in practical antenna construction and it shows in his work! 
Lovely!)

This G5RV is made with open wire feeders as Louis Varney (callsign G5RV 
and the designer of the antenna) recommended for best performance.

The flat top portion of the antenna is made up of two 51-ft sections of 
12-gauge copper stranded insulated wire.

At both ends of the flat top are Budwig glass fiber-filled end 
insulators with steel wire rope clamps holding the wire in place.  The 
use of wire rope clamps prevents wire breaks caused by flexing of ends 
that are merely soldered over the insulators.

The vertical 34-ft (600-ohm open wire feeder) section is also made of 
12-gauge copper stranded insulated wire (two wires separated by 
spreaders).  The 600-ohm, 12-gauge model is among the best performing of 
all the various G5RV's that have been seen to date.  It is far more 
efficient than 16-gauge models, handles an amplifier with less chance of 
melting into a gooey mess, and is far less subject to stress cracks 
common in solid-core wire construction.

The UHF connector at the base of the antenna has a sealed weather cover 
to minimize oxidation and corrosion from the nasty elements of Nature.

This weather cover combined with the use of large gauge,  insulated wire 
  makes for a quieter, longer-lasting, oxidation-free antenna than 
cheaper competitors which use non-insulated wire and often rust through 
in a few months.

This quality G5RV antenna is fed by 50ohm coax (not supplied) from your 
antenna tuner and is designed for use on 10 through 80 meters.

The  antenna does not require a balun.

New In the Box (NIB) and ready to ship via FedEx Ground the day 
following receipt of your payment.

The first $35 gets it!!  (includes shipping).

CONUS ONLY,  please.  Prefer Money Orders but will accept your personal 
check.
